I have Myeclipse Version: 5.0.1 GA Build id: 20060810-5.0.1-GA running on WinXP SP2
I went through the documentation on configuring WebSphere 6 with Myeclipse.
I must first compliment that all the documentation I found are excellent. Having the screenshots makes it very easy to configure.

The problem is that I am not able to run websphere from inside myeclipse IDE wheras it works fine with the startserver/stopserver provided by IBM.
I looked at the exact command that is run and I noticed the following

myeclipse IDE: ….\java -D…. -D…. com.ibm.ws.bootstrap.WSLauncher com.ibm.ws.runtime.WsServer <profileconfig> <cell> <node> server1

wheras when I use startserver script I see
….\java -D…. -D…. com.ibm.ws.bootstrap.WSLauncher com.ibm.ws.management.tools.WsServerLauncher <profileconfig> <cell> <node> server1

I looked at the place to change this

Window ->
Preferences ->
Myeclipse ->
Application Servers ->
Websphere 6 ->
Launch ->
“Create Launch Configuration” button ->
Arguments ->
Program Arguments

When I try to make the change and hit apply it doesn’t save it. It doesn’t seem to pick up the change.
I also tried looking for this entry in the <workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\com.genuitec.eclipse.easie.websphere6.prefs
But I couldn’t find this.

BTW it works fine when I run the same command (with the above mentioned change) on a dos prompt

I found the file that needs to be changed – .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches\WebSphere 6.launch
This file is getting updated with the changes but the resulting javaw process doesn’t seem to pick up this change.

I closed the Myeclipse IDE, made sure that the change is present in the file and restarted myeclips and the websphere 6 from “Servers” view.
Still it is using “com.ibm.ws.runtime.WsServer” instead of “com.ibm.ws.management.tools.WsServerLauncher”

How do I make this change ?

I found the way. I need to use the custom run configuration. With this I was able to successfully run the websphere javaw from with myeclipse.
Now the (minor) problem is that this new websphere runs in the background automatically so I see the status as stopped even though it is running.

Also any reason why the predefined setting for websphere 6 (and even websphere 6.1) has com.ibm.ws.runtime.WsServer as the argument instead of com.ibm.ws.management.tools.WsServerLauncher ?
My websphere version is 6.0.2.9 (by running the versionInfo.bat file)
